Presented by Dr. Linda Hancock, Susan Grossman Memorial Speaker

Examine what’s normal and what’s not about molecule use and answer the question: "What's the most devastating drug?" Using interactive audience feedback technology and YouTube videos, you’ll have fresh thinking about alcohol and other drugs, learn how to reduce harm and be empowered to step up and help friends in need.

Touched by Addiction (prior to and following presentation)

Addiction can be a hidden disease that affects many people. In order to raise awareness about the ripple effect of addiction, members of Hoos in Recovery will be asking students to trace their hand if their life (self, family, friend) has been "touched" by addiction. Information about Hoos in Recovery will also be provided.
